ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 11/29/2008

Bonner is getting shots all day..

 

and how did you feel that? i am sure the rule of the game, that's a foul no matter how you look at it. a foul should be called not based on how aggressive a player is, but by the rule book.

 

the refs are making horrible calls.
i think we can hold off the spurs though.

 

you dumb ****, u can't counter anything i said?????

like i told u, everytime we blow a big lead, that's cuz we started playing yao-ball again.

yao posting up, the other team front, we wait and wait and wait, shot clock down, can't get yao the ball, bad shot.

same sequence repeats til we lose the game.

 

He is double or triple teamed all the time

 

Either way, good solid half. The Rockets could have taken advantage a little bit later, but you know what? They're running the game's pace. The momentum may have shifted a bit, but the defense will hold when the offense doesn't.

 

so is rick adelman the new bob sura in china?

 

Curious, doesn't anyone else think the Adelman offense is a ton of fun to watch? It's beautiful, exciting basketball. A lot of Rox games recently have been boring. Watching the second unit move the ball around and run non-stop did my old heart a ton of good.

 

Wow a lot of name calling in this thread.

 

I think the correct phrase is mean reversion.

 

We got a large lead because of exceptionally good shooting early in the game. However, no team can shoot the ball that good all night long. We got to do a better job defending Parker and Bonner though.

 

I'm not really concerned about how many points Yao has, but my problem and it always bother me when yao lets his offensive output dictate his presence on the glass and other things. One shouldnt effect the other at all. No matter how many points you score, you should always rebound and play defense.

When Bonner comes in, i would like to see shane or artest playing the 4 spot. Bonner isnt going to post anyone up, but he can shoot and will always stay at the 3pt line.

 

why do i need to counter idiotic arguments on what if situations? if you watched more NBA games, you will see teams blow all kinds of leads with all kinds of combination of players. what if what if my ass, what if they bench Yao tonight, rockets would probably get blown out by the spurs. watch your potty mouth boy.

 

Unfortunately, there's a little something called human error.

Unless you replaced the refs with droids, not every foul will be called. What looked obvious to us (thanks to the overhead angle), may not have looked so obvious to the refs.

Besides, admit it, if Yao had taken the contact and threw something sensible up there rather then a ball that went straight to nowhere, there may have been a late whistle, but as it is...turnover.

 

GARM.

Y SO MAD!?

we havent lost yet..have faith.

 

Since when did Clutchfans become like an ESPN board for people with anger management, vulgar language and maturity issues?

 

without yao out of the game,we will easily killed by other teams like boston,lakers,suns ...

 

Duncan played as bad as Yao, who actually played better than Duncan, I think.

It always comes to the last quarter. We will see...

 

no what i said is exactly what happened in sixer game last year, in spur game earlier this year, in pacers game this week, and in 2nd quarter today,

we stopped running team offense, we started run yao-offense, when we can't get him the ball, we jack up bad shots or turn over the ball, and we blow big leads.

if you can't see that, you better watch more games, especially rocket games.

 

ya, i am fine with human errors, that happens. but i think for Yao, it's getting a bit too much. it certainly seems to be a bias against him.
